Hiring for multilingual talents and our benefits of recruitment focus on Italian speaking candidates

If you are a Head of the company, HR manager, Talent Acquisition specialist, or anyone struggling with sourcing, acquiring and retaining multilingual talents, especially Italians this is the right place for you.

If you are really busy and tired with publishing job offers, sourcing candidates, interviews and explaining your company value and job descriptions - here’s how you can simplify your process and find best Italian speaking talent for your team.

Would you like to simplify the hiring process for bilingual candidates?

There’s a way to do this without tying up your internal resources. With a well-established Italian network and a streamlined recruitment system, we can Hire Italian native speakers for vacancies in corporations based in Central Eastern Europe within a short amount of time. Using our process, you get access to bilingual candidates who can speak English at a minimum of B2 level and Italian at C1.

The common misconceptions in HR recruitment are:

• To select a candidate in Poland you need to source from within Poland.

• Italian native speaking candidates aren’t interested in moving abroad

• Publishing a job ad on a national job portal is enough to attract Italian talents from Italy

When working with a Polish (Czech or Hungarian) customer in need of Italian speaking candidates, we conduct a ‘massive-scale’ sourcing in those countries. In some cases, however, this isn’t the right choice - especially if you want to reach talents not available on the market.

Recruiting Italian speaking candidates can be challenging

Sometimes recruiting Italian native speakers is difficult, especially for positions such as:

• Customer service representative, Customer Care Representative, Customer Service Specialist, Customer Advisor, Customer Support Representative

• Marketing (content reviewer, content analyst, audio conferencing analyst, logistics coordinator, procurement specialist or junior, Bid Content Copywriter, Pricing Specialist, partner performance specialist)

• Sales (business development specialist or junior, market development specialist or junior, project coordinator, contract specialist)

• Finance (account receivable, account payable, general ledger, financial operations associate, payroll coordinator)

• HR (HR Associate, HR consultant, HR Advisor, HR Specialist, Talent Procurement Associate, Talent Acquisition Specialist, HR Pre-boarding Specialist)

Often, Italian speaking candidates do not have the required English language skills, they may not be able to communicate professionally and may lack any work, or corporate, experience, which makes their integration into an international company environment challenging.

Some of the customers we’ve worked with have experienced similar situations, and they benefitted from our streamlined recruitment processes for multilingual hires. We fill Italian speaking vacancies in one day or less!

How do we find Italian speaking applicants?

We source Italian speaking talent not just in the Polish, Czech or Hungarian markets but also directly in Italy, where native speakers are not aware of the great work opportunities available in Central Eastern European countries like Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary.

We have developed our proven system especially to attract, source and recruit this talent.

We understand both your technical requirements and your company culture - and this allows us to create a tailored job description in Italian so that we can clearly provide Italian applicants with the essential information.

To avoid any possible misunderstandings we’ve already shared your company culture to our Employees from abroad. Also, they’ve already been briefed using plenty of practical knowledge regarding the city and the company where they will work.

We have gathered the most common questions Foreign employees have before they relocate from Italy and other countries. We’ve also created relocation guides, comprehensively covering every aspect we wanted to know when, years ago, we initially moved to our new home city.

Our win-win proposition for BPO and SSC looking for multilingual candidates makes us successful with companies and candidates:

• saves you time and effort

• increases your chances of successfully recruiting the best multilingual candidates

Candidate sourcing in Central Eastern Europe

Increasing opportunities for multilingual job seekers. Are Italian candidates afraid to move abroad?

There are many reasons why Central Eastern Europe presents great work opportunities for multilingual candidates.

Let’s have a look at the data, as the numbers make it very clear: The unemployment rate in Central Eastern European countries like Poland, Czech Republic or Hungary is extremely low:

(Data Source: http://www.ksh.hu/docs/hun/xstadat/ xstadat_hosszu/h_qlf012a.html
https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/tgm/table.do?tab=table&init=1&plugin=1&language=en
https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/tgm/table.do?tab=table&init=1&plugin=1&language=en
http://dati.istat.it/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=DCCV_TAXDISOCCU1#)

On the other hand, the numbers for Italy are very different. Here, the market is more company driven, with youth unemployment hitting 49.5% in the first quarter of 2018 (youth between the ages of 20-24 years who aren’t studying nor employed) within some regions, like the so-called Mezzogiorno (South of Italy). Data source: http://dati-giovani.istat.it.

http://gdansk.stat.gov.pl/en/ http://krakow.stat.gov.pl/en/
https://vdb.czso.cz/)

Many Young Italian job seekers appreciate their work experience abroad and, according to Almalaurea (Italian Association of Universities), university students who’ve had this experience during their studies have a 12% higher chance than others to find work opportunities within their field of study. Moreover, 4 out of 10 Italians with a university degree, living in Italy at the age of 30, are unemployed or work in a profession that doesn’t require a degree (according to Osservatorio Statistico dei consulenti del lavoro.)

Moreover, some statistics in Italy mention that 63,40% of Italian companies go bankrupt in the first three years of activity - making the Italian market look very unattractive to young professionals.

What’s makes candidates seek work abroad?

Based on these numbers you can imagine why fresh Italian graduates would like to move to a Central Eastern European country, such as Poland, the Czech Republic or Hungary, to join a big structured company like yours.

Some of our team members have experienced the Italian speaking candidates journey - from Italy to Poland for example - themselves. They are the real-life examples to which the bilingual candidates can easily relate.

We call every single foreign applicant and check their attitude, their motivation towards your company, the work and your city - and also their English and Italian levels (if not native). Every candidate speaks to at least two different consultants from our team (one for each language). We are very used to distinguishing good communication skills in English and Italian, and we will not recommend a candidate who’s not ready to face customers while speaking their language.

We will also dedicate time to explaining to foreign applicants that we cannot reveal your salary budget as, in Italy, in many cases this works differently. For this reason, we spend a huge amount of time clarifying this way of working, which may be disappointing for some candidates who expect to be told the salary before being interviewed. You no longer need to rely on candidates who frequently change their multilingual job, and you can attract native speaking talent direct from Italy.

We take good care of foreign employees, helping them to find accommodation and offering advice via our ITSELECTA relocation guides. From cooperation with local outsourcing agencies, universities and multilingual networks, we can attract, source and recruit the best Italian speaking talent which greatly increases your chances of finding the right Italian speaking candidate. It’s no secret that the right employees makes all the difference in bilingual jobs!

Attracting Italian talents abroad - why just publishing a job ad is NOT enough

National job ads can be useful when sourcing candidates in Central Eastern Europe, as usually people know where to look for those vacancies.

How can you be sure that the best talent will pick your offers instead of a competitors?

Many companies think advertising is the only way when looking to the job market for a great new employee.

Employing people without using a proven system often leads to finding talents who will leave the company quickly or will not be the perfect fit for your needs.

A few years ago, this would be a reasonable way to find talent but, with an increasingly competitive market, companies investing in employer branding and candidates becoming more demanding, this has changed a lot - especially in Poland, The Czech Republic or Hungary, where the unemployment rate is low.

Working with a trustworthy partner that sources directly FOR and WITH you is the solution that will provide you with greater success.

How long does it take to fill Italian speaker vacancies?

Once we’ve received job requirements and candidate profile from you, our recruitment experts will respond to your request within 24 hrs. We always provide candidates that meet your stated needs.

Due to our highly efficient recruitment process and extensive database, we can find Italian speaking candidates willing to relocate. This fast turnaround time, reasonable pricing and great candidate-vacancy fit are what makes Itselecta so attractive when hiring for Eastern Europe and beyond.

Tailored approach generates high satisfaction levels for multilingual recruitment processes

Saving resources via recruitment cooperation

It’s not the best use of your resources to explain to each candidate what your company does, where is it located and what the experience of relocating will be. Instead, we do this for you, carefully, for every applicant - which is why they arrive fully ready for their new role.

We are here for you! The benefits of Itselecta’s recruitment support has convinced many past clients to say why they cooperate with us:

...we are recruiting our international sales team thanks to ITSelecta. We are extremely satisfied with their professionalism and their ability to identify the right talents.

We respect your internal recruitment process

We genuinely want to know more about your company, not only regarding your job requirements but also the working culture and what makes you stand out on the market. We will then convey the message to foreign applicants - meaning they are well prepared for your interview.

In our “candidate profile” that we send you, together with the candidates’ CV, we include their Skype and Google Hangouts contact info, salary expectation, and other meaningful info that you don’t usually find in a CV. This supports your own interviewing, making it easier to understand who is in front of you, thus simplifying your internal recruitment process.
